About
Founded in 2024 by Zakiya Jefferson, Queen’s Court Tennis Club was created to give women in Charlotte a fun and friendly place to learn tennis and build lasting connections. We’re proud to be the place where beginners take the first step in their tennis journey. Whether you’re a total newcomer or rediscovering your love for the game, Queen’s Court is a supportive and inspiring space to grow.
Our Mission
At Queen’s Court Tennis Club, we’re more than just a tennis club—we’re a community. Our mission is to empower women to embrace the game of tennis while fostering friendships, confidence, and joy on and off the court.


What We Offer
We’ve designed our club experience around three key offerings to help you enjoy the game and connect with others:
​
Tennis Clinics
Guided by our USPTR Certified Professional Tennis Coach, these clinics are perfect for learning or
fine-tuning your skills.
​
Open Plays
Casual, friendly opportunities to practice and play in a relaxed environment.
​
Social Events
Fun gatherings that bring our members together, both on and off the court.
Our Principles
Our club is built on four guiding principles:
A Curated Atmosphere of Sophistication and Cheer
We create an elegant yet welcoming space where every woman feels at ease.
A Sanctuary for New
Tennis Players
Beginners and amateurs are at the heart of everything we do.
Building a Network of Female Friendships
Tennis is just the beginning - lifelong friendships are the real game-changer.
Introducing Tennis to Diverse Communities
We’re passionate about sharing the love of the game with women from all walks of life.
